Rose Byrne talks up Schenectady on “Letterman” (Video)

Never have you heard the word Schenectady uttered so often in such a short span of time.

Rose Byrne was on “Late Show with David Letterman” last night to talk about the new season of “Damages,” but she segued into talking about the movie she was currently making up in Schenectady with Ryan Gosling, Bradley Cooper and Eva Mendes (Byrne plays Bradley Cooper’s wife.).

This led to a spell-off with Letterman nailing S-C-H-E-N-E-C-T-A-D-Y, but Byrne whiffing on Letterman’s hometown, I-N-D-I-A-N-A-P-O-L-I-S. She mentioned the name of the movie, “The Place Beyond the Pines,” and Letterman said that was “a lovely title.” Pity no one was there to say, “That’s what ‘Schenectady’ means.”

Byrne also goes onto to talk about the throngs of adoring, screaming woman waiting for a glimpse of Gosling or Cooper coming out of their trailers. Would those women by any chance be you?

Greta never signed on unfortunately. Schenectady means “Beyond the pine plains” referring to the Pine Bush. The author of the script didn’t quite get it right but his translation is ok. It has been spelled 100 different ways and translated several different ways. Anyway good PR for Schenectady.

I tried to catch a glimpses of Ryan Gosslings down near downtown but never got to see him.
lol indeed!
I like how David Lettermens said Schenectidy can suck it! He should have added “and does!” lol indeed!
After that I would have said “In your face The Legend!”
lol indeed!
That girl is good at not having her British accent on her tv show. She will probably win an Emmy.
